I remember.. I don't remember

if you asked me what happened to me in 2008...
i may be able to tell you about a few major events if you give me enough time...

I found that.. my memory is getting worse... I can't remember as much as I used to. I have forgot things i thought that have impacted me to some extent... now I can't recall any more what exactly happened? maybe I was changed due to the events.. and I learned from them.. which sounds to be most important. But indeed, I wish I could remember them.. and review them as part of me and my life...and remember the people who are in part of my memories..

Writing could enhance memories.. I did at some point of 2008 started to write my diary... for awhile .. i guess memories i have for last year.. are less vague for that time period...

I went to watch Curious Case of Benjamin Button two days ago... the story is basically from reading Benjamin's diary where he recorded in detail what's happened in his life when he was able to remember things... before he lost the ability to remember..

The ability to remember is such a gift. I think I have taken it largely for granted. Memories are such a treasure. I don't have a life that's particularly special.. but I do live a life that's particularly colorful. I wanna keep my memories, my treasures too.

I want to remember significant events in my life. I want to remember in detail important and significant people in my life. I want to remember you. I want to remember your life story which I am part of too. Maybe I will get the chance to share and retell .. maybe not. But I do want to remember.

so ... I think I need to get myself a nice notebook and a nice pen. =p
